Chapter 1107
"This is the Earth Immortal Realm!"
Li Yuhu soared high above the nine heavens, feeling the vastness of heaven and earth, boundless and endless.
In the distance, immortal clouds shrouded the land, profoundly wondrous; every mountain range resembled a sacred cultivation ground, inspiring longing.
Occasionally, strange beasts would fly across the sky, leaving her dazzled.
"This is too miraculous!"
Du Bingyan laughed: "This is a relatively remote area, far from those wondrous creatures—otherwise, you'd have even more surprises!"
"Then why not get closer to them?" Li Yuhu asked, puzzled.
Du Bingyan: "Many of those creatures are Jin Xian. If we went near, one breath from them would wipe us out."
"Of course!" Li Yuhu finally realized.
In the mortal world, she was a true immortal of this age.
Here, she was merely a weak true qi cultivator.
"Let's go, pick a good spot and establish our cave dwelling!" Du Bingyan suggested.
Li Yuhu pointed to a tree thousands of meters tall, its branches lush and leaves each spanning a hundred meters in diameter, and said: "Why not carve a cave into it to live?"
Du Bingyan was speechless: "Do you want to be You Chao Shi? Or just build a small villa. That way, when visitors come, you can entertain them properly."
"True," Li Yuhu nodded. "Living in a tree is convenient, but inconvenient for guests."
The World of Xun Qin.
Yahu Villa.
"Did the Qin Huang send these people here?"
Ji Yanran looked in surprise at an Qin heavenly soldier and asked.
"Yes. Your Majesty said to entrust these people to Miss Ji for delivery to the Earth Immortal Realm," the soldier explained.
Ji Yanran snorted: "He's got quite the plan."
"If I deliver these people to the Earth Immortal Realm, won't I be sent off too?"
Looking over, she saw many familiar faces among them.
There was Princess Zhao Qian of Zhao, and the wealthy Madame Qin Qing.
In short, all the beauties from Xun Qin, except those already paired off, were here.
"The Emperor truly thought of everything," Ji Yanran waved dismissively. "Go ahead, I'll take them to the Earth Immortal Realm."
For such matters, Ji Yanran was far too familiar.
Sending women, sending handsome men.
This was far too common in political intrigue.
As a former noble of Yue, she had long grown accustomed to it.
In fact, had Yue not yet fallen, as a noble herself, she might have had to personally arrange such things.
Exchanging gifts between nobles was perfectly ordinary.
Of course, to later generations, this gift seemed barbaric—because often, the gift was a person!
The heavenly soldier bowed, then withdrew.
"Madame Qin Qing, and all the other sisters, please follow me…"
Ji Yanran waved her hand, and a portal of passage appeared in the void.
"Cross this gate, and you'll reach the Earth Immortal Realm. There, you too can cultivate and become immortals, flying through sky and earth. Of course, there will be a small price to pay."
"But if you're unwilling, I won't force you. I'll speak to the Emperor—he'll grant me this favor and let you go free."
Zhao Qian asked: "Is the price you mentioned, Miss Ji, marrying a man?"
Ji Yanran nodded.
Zhao Qian laughed: "What's that? We're all going to marry anyway. Marrying a divine being is far better than marrying a mortal. Besides, we won't be losing out."
"Exactly."
Most in the crowd agreed.
Ji Yanran froze, then suddenly understood.
This was the Warring States era—there was no such thing as equality between men and women.
For most, finding a good husband was like a heavenly gift falling from the sky.
"Then let's go."
Ji Yanran softly shook her head and led the group through the portal.
The next moment, they arrived in a strange new world.
"This place is truly beautiful—no wonder it's the Immortal Realm! So the legends of divine homes are true!" Qin Qing exclaimed. "Just breathing here makes me feel light all over—could this be…"
"Some kind of mystery?"
Ji Yanran smiled: "The Earth Immortal Realm is rich in spiritual energy, brimming with boundless immortal qi. Living here, even someone who doesn't cultivate can live for hundreds or even thousands of years."
"I see."
Suddenly, someone gasped in surprise.
"Look! There's a small villa over there!"
Ji Yanran looked and indeed saw a Jiangnan-style garden nestled among the mountains; two women within were sparring with swords, as if sensing the group's gaze, they soared into the sky
and landed nearby.
"Who are you?"
Ji Yanran bowed respectfully: "Ji Yanran, greetings to both sisters."
"So you're the famed Ji Yanran! I'm Du Bingyan—we've chatted in the group!" Du Bingyan laughed. "Meeting you in person, your grace truly lives up to your reputation."
Ji Yanran suddenly understood: "So you're Bingyan sister."
"Let's go, we've just settled here, and Sister Ji has arrived—this must be fate. Come be our guest at our home?" Du Bingyan extended the invitation.
Ji Yanran looked toward Qin Qing and the others, and explained the whole matter.
